H-1B visa revocation happens when the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the employer terminates an individual's H-1B status. This can occur for several reasons, including:

Common Reasons for H-1B Revocation:

1. Employer Withdrawal – If the employer who sponsored the H-1B visa withdraws the petition (e.g., due to termination, layoffs, or company closure), USCIS may revoke the visa.

2. USCIS Revocation – If USCIS finds issues such as fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to meet visa requirements, they can revoke the visa.

3. Job Termination – If an H-1B holder loses their job, they have a 60-day grace period to find another sponsor or change visa status before USCIS may revoke the visa.

4. Violation of Terms – If an H-1B holder violates visa conditions, such as working for an unauthorized employer or failing to maintain legal status, their visa may be revoked.

Consequences of H-1B Revocation:

• The individual may need to leave the U.S. unless they change their status or find a new employer.

• If revoked due to fraud or misrepresentation, the person may face bans on reentry.

• If the employer initiates revocation, they must inform USCIS and may need to cover return travel costs.

What to Do If Your H-1B Is Revoked:

• Find a new sponsor – Another employer can file a new H-1B petition within the 60-day grace period.

• Change visa status – If eligible, apply for a different visa category, such as an F-1 (student) or O-1 (extraordinary ability).

• Leave the U.S. – If no other options are available, departing the U.S. and applying for a new visa later may be necessary.

• Seek legal help – Immigration attorneys can assist in exploring options and appealing wrongful revocations.
